Steve Palen was there the Saturday before last when an intense game ended in double-overtime at Southeastern Community College. Moments later, players were fighting and fans were joining in.

"When you see mass crowds rushing to one spot, it's usually a pretty good indication something good is not happening," said Palen.

The game that was supposed to help launch the No. 3 ranked Indian Hills Warriors in the post-season. It ended with five of their players and four southeastern players suspended.

Three fans were also banned from future games.

The West Burlington Police said they had a witness who saw one of the Indian Hills players hit a fan and they arrested him. Indian Hills Community College President Jim Lindenmeyer bailed the student out of jail.

Lindenmeyer didn't know it was against NJCAA rules. The Warriors were banned from post season play.

The Warrior's coach who would have hosted the league tournament said they made the right choice that night.

Palen, who was disappointed to see the season end so abruptly, said he would have made the same choice.

"If it was my child and they'd left my child in another town, I would have been livid with the college," said Palen.

A Justice Department civil rights investigation has concluded that the Ferguson Police Department and the city's municipal court engaged in a "pattern and practice" of discrimination against African-Americans, according to a U.S. law enforcement official.
